Lent

God in the flesh surrendered himself, entering Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. He continued to yield all the way to the cross. The charge of the believer is to follow that example of humble relent.

Jesus knows we need assurance from time to time. And he is more than willing to give us all the reassurance we need.

John knew what he was made to do. He surrendered his life to God’s assignment.

When the spotlight shines on you…will you use it to promote yourself, or will you use it to point others to Christ? Two options, but only one right answer.

Jesus said, “You will recognize them by their fruits” (Matt. 7:16). By the fruit of a person’s life, you will know what is in their heart. A heart transformed by Christ produces the fruit of his Spirit. 

Show people how he lived. Tell people what he said. Explain to people why he died.

Faith is made up of things that don’t always fit together. If it’s all packaged up nice and tight…it’s not faith…it’s a fact.

There is a blessing on the other side of sacrifice. So, here’s the question: What’s the sacrifice standing between you and God’s blessing?

It means we finally live fulfilled with a whole heart…filled with the One who always provides exactly what we need.
